visionOS is a spatial operating system developed by Apple Inc. exclusively for the Apple Vision Pro device.

Controls

visionOS is manipulated by eye and hand gestures. To select an element, the user simply looks at it and pinches their fingers. You can immerse yourself in a Scene (virtual immersive space) by turning the digital crown. Windows are resized by dragging a bar in the corner, and moved by dragging another in the middle of it. If the user moves in real life far away from their windows, they can double tap the digital crown to recenter.

Types of experiences

Spaces

When launching an app, windows live in a shared space by default. For a more immersive experience, apps may choose to open a full space, where they take up all of the user's vision.

Windows

Simmilar to iPadOS or MacOS, windows are thin, resizable canvases for apps. Design-wise, they have a frosted glass effect with a rounded look, casting realistic shadows and light. Smaller windows closer to the user may appear for controls such as a presentor display, or video controls.

Volumes

Volumes are windowed scenes for 3D content. They may be useful for a 3D game or viewing a product in space.

App Icons

App Icons for visionOS are made up of layers (maximum of 3) which gently pop out when looked at, creating a 3D effect.
